Whether it's a must-have hair tool, skincare saviour, makeup palette, or lip kit, you're guaranteed to find the perfect pressie for any glam girl you know this Christmas. However, to save you time searching, I've shared my top recommendations below...
Benefit | Letters to Lashes
Gorgeous eyelashes are important to any glam girl, so my first recommendation is the Benefit Letters to Lashes - Mascara Christmas Gift Set (£36.50 cultbeauty.co.uk). Included in the set is a full size BADgal BANG! - an intense pitch black mascara that delivers incredible volume, a full size Roller Lash - a super-curling and lifting mascara in black, and a full size They’re Real! - a lengthening, false-eyelash effect mascara in jet black. Worth £73.50, this mascara set comes packaged in a cute reusable keepsake tin with cute holiday stickers inside!
Bronzer is another glam essential that you can't go wrong with gifting. Luckily, this festive season, Guerlain is launching a limited-edition version of its legendary Terracotta bronzing powder, Terracotta Starlight (£42 lookfantastic.com). Available in the best-selling shade 03, Terracotta Starlight has a shimmering finish that delivers a luminous tanned look. With 96% naturally-derived ingredients, including Moroccan argan oil and mineral and pearlescent pigments, this bronzing powder blends beautifully with the skin and provides long-lasting comfort.
Trinny London | Bright-Eyed Set
For busy girls who want their glam on-the-go, the Trinny London Bright-Eyed Set (£32 trinnylondon.com) will make for the perfect gift. Helping deliver an effortless eye-makeup routine and provide that all-important top-up in a matter of minutes, this gorgeous gift set includes the brand’s bestselling Eye2Eye - in a choice of 28 flattering shades - and a limited-edition Lash2Lash mascara. It is an eye-enhancing duo that is highly pigmented, easy to apply, and fits into the smallest of bags.

Nails.INC | Cute But Cookie Nail Polish Set
A good manicure is a key part of any glam girl's beauty routine, so a nail-related gift is guaranteed to go down well. I love the Nails.INC Cute But Cookie Nail Polish Set (£22 lookfantastic.com), which contains four fabulous tonal polishes, all of which are highly pigmented and boast an immaculate finish. They also feature a patented, wide hugging brush exclusive to Nails.INC, that is ergonomically designed to work with the shape of the nail and minimise the number of strokes required. Shades include Chip Street - a pinky nude, Bakers Passage - a chocolate brown, Sugar Lane - a gold glitter, and Bakery Close - a dark brown. Not only are these shades gorgeous, but each polish is fragranced with a freshly-baked cookie scent!
Paco Rabanne | FAME
All glam girls love to smell gorgeous, so a sexy scent will make for the perfect gift this festive season. I recommend Paco Rabanne’s FAME (£86 Boots), a sensual but playful perfume that smells great on just about any one. The irresistible eau de parfum features top notes of mango and bergamot, heart notes of jasmine and olibanum, and base notes of vanilla and sandalwood. FAME offers great projection and impressive lasting power.

For the palette-loving queens, I recommend the Too Faced limited edition Pumpkin Spice Second Slice Sweet and Spicy Eyeshadow Palette (£40 cultbeauty.co.uk). This 18-pan palette is inspired by all-things pumpkin pie and features 10 creamy matte eye shadows, 4 metallic eye shadows, 1 satin eye shadow, and 3 shimmer eye shadows, in a range of warm and spicy-toned shades. Each shadow in the palette boasts a soft velvety texture and is so pigmented that one-swipe is enough to deliver impact. Not only is every colour appetising on the eyes, but they smell just like pumpkin pie! Delicious!
Saie | Glowy Super Gel Duo
For the girls that love to get their glow on, gifts don't get better than the Saie Glowy Super Gel Duo (£18 cultbeauty.co.uk). This must-have holiday duo features Saie’s best-selling Starglow – a universal champagne shimmer, and the new Warmglow – a soft warm golden shimmer. Formulated with 75% water, these highlighter-come-primer hybrids brighten, hydrate, and nourish all skin types. They are also enriched with vitamin C to refine and smooth skin, alongside rosehip seed oil and plant-derived glycerin to moisturise and protect. The gorgeous gifting duo can be worn alone, mixed in with foundation, or dabbed on top of a finished makeup look to achieve that glass skin finish.
Kylie Cosmetics | Dashing Matte Lip Kit
For those that long for that classic glam look, you can't go wrong with the Kylie Cosmetics Dashing Matte Lip Kit (£26 Boots), a limited-edition kit from the brand’s popular Holiday Collection. The new duo set includes the iconic Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick in Dashing - a classic red, alongside a matching Lip Liner for the cleanest, most precise lip look. Both lip products boast a highly pigmented creamy formula that is long-lasting and easy to apply.
